Engaging family stakeholders in post-discharge NICU missions

In the past few decades, there has been a cultural shift from physician-centered to patient- and family-centered engagement in both health care and research. Patient- and family-centered health care encourages collaboration and shared decision making between patients and families and their health care team. Patients and families are engaged at both the patient and system levels.
